 * I have a new site I’ve built for a client and for some odd reason, I’m getting
   random phpmyadmin code added to links, like this:
 * `<a href="/about?phpMyAdmin=1d3c4...">`
 * Any idea what might be causing this?
 * Thanks – Holling

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.

 * Are you a Plesk user? On the off chance that this may apply…

 * Hi folks –
 * Thanks for the quick response, both of you. Clayton – the answer is Yes, and 
   as I look at my live site vs. the DB export (which I just performed earlier today),
   it appears that this does occur on export, rather than existing on the site.
 * I’ll submit a support ticket to my host.
 * Thanks!
